By David J. Peterson
My name is David Peterson, and I'm a conlanger. "What's a conlanger," you may ask? Thanks to the recent addition of the word "conlang" to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), I can now say, "Look it up!" But to save you the trouble, a conlanger is a constructed language (or conlang) maker — i.e. one who creates languages.
Language creation has been around since at least the 12th century, when the German abbess Hildegard von Bingen created her Lingua Ignota — Latin for "hidden language" — an invented vocabulary she used for writing hymns. In the centuries that followed, philosophers like Leibniz and John Wilkins would create languages that were intended to serve as grand classification systems, and idealists like L. L. Zamenhof would create languages intended to simplify international communication. All these systems focused on the basic utility of language — its ability to encode and convey meaning. That would change in the 20th century.
Tolkien: the father of modern conlanging
Before crafting the tales of Middle-Earth, J. R. R. Tolkien was a conlanger. Unlike the many known to history who came before him, though, Tolkien created languages for the pure joy of it. Professionally, he became a philologist, but he continued to work on his own languages, eventually creating his famous Lord of the Rings series as an extension of the linguistic legendarium he'd been crafting for many years. Though his written works would become more famous than his linguistic creations, his conlangs, in particular Sindarin and Quenya, would go on to inspire new generations of conlangers throughout the rest of the 20th century.
Due to the general obscurity of the practice, many conlangers remained unknown to each other until the early 1990s, when home internet use started to become more and more common. The first dedicated meeting place for conlangers, virtual or otherwise, was the Conlang Listserv (an online mailing list). Some list members came out of interest in Tolkien's languages, as well as other large projects, like Esperanto or Lojban, but the majority came to discuss their own work, and to meet and learn from others who also created languages.
Since the founding of the original Conlang Listserv, many other meeting places have sprung up online, and through a couple of decades of regular conlanger interaction, the practice of conlanging has evolved.
Conlang typology
Conlangs have been separated into different types since at least the 19th century. First came the philosophical languages, as discussed, then the auxiliary languages like Esperanto (also known as auxlangs), but with Tolkien emerged a new type of language: the artistic language, or artlang. At its most basic, an artlang is a conlang created for artistic purposes, but that broad definition includes many wildly divergent languages (compare Denis Moskowitz's Rikchik to Sylvia Sotomayor's Kēlen). Finer-grained distinctions became necessary as the community grew, and so emerged the naturalistic conlang.
This is where the languages of HBO's Game of Thrones and Syfy's Defiance come in. The languages I've created for the shows I work on come out of the naturalist tradition. The goal with a naturalistic conlang is to create a language that's as realistic as possible. The realism of a language is grounded in the reality (fictional or otherwise) of its speakers. If the speakers are more or less human (or humanoid) and are intended to be portrayed in a realistic fashion, then their language should be as similar as possible to a natural language (i.e. a language that exists here on Earth, like Spanish, Tagalog, or Cham).
The natural languages we speak are large, but also redundant and imperfect in a uniquely human way. Conlangers have gotten pretty good at emulating them over the years, usually employing one of two different approaches. The first, which I call the façade method, is to create a language that looks like a modern natural language by replicating the various features of a modern natural language. Thus, if English has irregular plurals, such as mouse~mice, then the conlang will have irregular plurals, too, by targeting certain nouns and making their plurals irregular in some way.
The historical method: making sense of irregular plurals in Valyrian
A contrasting approach is the method that Tolkien pioneered called the historical method. With the historical method, an ancestor language called a proto-language is created, and the desired language is evolved from it, via simulated linguistic evolution. The process takes a lot longer, but in some ways it's simpler, since irregularities will naturally emerge, rather than having to be created by hand. For example, in Game of Thrones, the High Valyrian language Daenerys speaks differs from the Low Valyrian the residents of Slaver's Bay speak. In fact, the latter evolved from the former. As the language evolved, it produced some natural irregularities. Consider the following nouns and their plurals from the Valyrian spoken in Slaver's Bay:
hubre "goat" hubres "goats"
dare "queen" dari "queens"
aeske "master" aeske "masters"
Given that the singular forms all end in 'e', one has to say at least two of the plurals presented are irregular. But why the arbitrary differences in the plural forms? It turns out it's because the three nouns with identical singular terminations used to have very different forms in the older language, High Valyrian, as shown below:
hobres "goat" hobresse "goats"
dāria "queen" dārī "queens"
āeksio "master" āeksia "masters"
Each of these alternations is quite regular in High Valyrian. In the simulated history, a series of sound changes which simplified the ends of words produced identical terminations for each of the three words in the singular, leaving later speakers having to memorize which have irregular plurals and which regular.
Conceptualizing time
Simulated evolution applies to both grammar and the lexicon, as well. For example, natural languages often derive terminology for abstract concepts metaphorically from terminology for concrete concepts. Time, for instance, is an abstract concept that is frequently discussed using spatial terminology. How it's done differs from language to language. In English, events that occur later in time occur after the present (where "after" derives from "aft," a word meaning "behind"), and events that occur earlier in time occur before the present. Thus, time is conceptualized as a being standing in the present, facing the past, with the future behind them.
In Irathient, a language I created for Syfy's Defiance, time is conceptualized vertically, rather than horizontally. The word for "after", in temporal terms, is shei, which derives from a word meaning "above"; "before", on the other hand, is ur, which also means "below" or "underneath". The general metaphor that the future is up and the past is down bears out throughout the rest of the language, where if one wanted to say "Go back to what you were saying before", the literal Irathient translation would be "Go down to what you were saying underneath".
Ultimately, what one hears on screen sounds and feels like a natural language, regardless of whether or not one knows the work that went on behind the scenes. Since the prop used on screen is a language, though, rather than a costume or a piece of the set, the words can be recorded and analyzed at any time. Consequently, a conlang needs to be real in a way that a throne or a 700 foot wall of ice does not.
It's still extraordinary to me that in less than 25 years, we came from a time when many conlangers were not aware that there were other conlangers to a time where our work is able to add to the authenticity of some of the best productions the big and small screen have to offer. The addition of the word "conlang" to the OED is a fitting capper to an unbelievable quarter century.

Game of Thrones fans – your official season five trailer is here! Can we talk about that choice of music? The use of a "Heroes" cover here is basically perfect.
HBO published the official version of the trailer, previously only seen in the nation-wide IMAX showing, after a bootleg version made its way around the internet. The show's fifth season premieres on April 12, on the heels of the current IMAX event, which put the show in the history books as the first TV series to be broadcast in IMAX format.
As a fan of the book series, I have concerns about the show's fifth season based on the source material – the fourth book was the most difficult for me to digest – but between the depictions of Littlefinger, Tryion, Daenerys, and Cersei, there's enough here to draw my attention.

– My favorite discovery from the 2014 television season has to be Cartoon Network's Rick and Morty, which takes the character relationship of Doc and Marty (more or less) from Back to the Future and transplants them into Doctor Who style adventures with some the sharpest humor I've seen in an animated program since Archer first hit the air. The series, created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland, has had its first season available on Blu-ray for awhile now. If you can handle some cruder, gross-out moments, I highly recommend it.
This week, Cartoon Network announced that Rick and Morty will return on Sunday, July 26th. Additionally, Roiland and Harmon guest-wrote the couch gag for the upcoming season finale of The Simpsons, which you can watch below:
– Speaking of The Simpsons, yesterday saw the news that Harry Shearer, the longtime voice of characters like Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, and many other members of the show's rich world, would be parting ways with the series. According to some reports, there's still a chance that Shearer may come to terms with the show's producers, but the roles are expected to be recast at this point.
I haven't watched The Simpsons in years, but I'm hoping this paves the way for a Spinal Tap reunion.
– From the set of Captain America: Civil War, via JustJared, here's the first image of Crossbones' costume:
– Seth Rogen tweeted out the first on-set image from AMC's Preacher last night, which sees Dominic Cooper's Jesse Custer talking with Ian Colletti's Arseface:
– According to Collider, the sequel to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes now has a title: War of the Planet of the Apes. It's a bit of a mouth-full, but I guess no one would go see a movie called "Monkey Fight", which I was lobbying pretty hard for.
– Lastly, there's a pretty great True Detective Season 2 teaser out now via HBO. I may be more excited about this premiere than any other show this year, even the Mad Men finale!

talent and imagination, Miyazaki created an anti-war film that is balanced by humor, wizardry, and romance.
"At their best, the storytelling of fairy tales constitute the most profound articulation of the human struggle to form and maintain a civilizing process. They depict metaphorically the opportunities for human adaptation to our environment and reflect the conflicts that arise when we fail to establish civilizing codes commensurate with the self-interests of large groups within the human population. The more we give into base instincts – base in the sense of basic and depraved – the more criminal and destructive we become. The more we learn to relate to other groups of people and realize that their survival and the fulfillment of their interests is related to ours, the more we might construct social codes that guarantee humane relationships. Fairy tales are uncanny because they tell us what we need and they unsettle us by showing what we lack and how we might compensate for lack."
…Fairy tales map out possible ways to attain happiness, to expose and resolve moral conflicts that have deep roots in our species. The effectiveness of fairy tales and other forms of fantastic literature depends on the innovative manner in which we make the information of the tales relevant for the listeners and receivers of the tales."

The prolific author of many books for children and adults (primarily fantasy), Wynne Jones said that the idea for the book came from a boy, Stephen, on one of her school visits. Stephen asked her to write a book about a moving castle. The book she wrote was very well received internationally and won several prizes.
Wynne Jones also said,"Things we are accustomed to regard as myth or fairy story are very much present in peoples lives."
When the film was completed, Miyazaki flew to England and arranged a private showing for Dianne Wynne Jones. Her comments: "It's fantastic. No, I have no input—I wriThe book cover is of Dianna Wynne Jones original version of Howl's Moving Castle. The photo is of Hayao Miyazake, courtesy of Ghibli Studios.te books, not films. Yes, it will be different from the book—in fact it's likely to be very different, but that's as it should be. It will still be a fantastic film."
"War was the weather system of my youth"...
The twentieth century was filled with upheaval and wars and millions of children today continue to face the chaos and pain of war.Alexandra Fuller, author of the very well received Leaving Before the Rains Come , published in January 2015, grew up in war-torn Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
In a fascinating interview with Simon Worrall (Book Talk) in the National Geographic, she speaks of the effects of growing up amidst "the traumas of war and the non-stop incidents and accidents where I was raised"...Here is an excerpt from the interview:
"But the biggest effect was that war was the weather system of my youth. The war was everywhere. And what came with that was death and the insanity of war, which leaks on even after a cease-fire has been declared. I think the hardest thing it did was to make childhood innocence, those precious years until you're about 11 or 12, not exist for us. War makes you cunning and a survivor. It can make you very damaged or very resilient. But it never leaves you.
You spend the rest of your life trying to redress what happened to you in those first years, even though it's not your fault. But your body doesn't know that, your limbic system doesn't know that. You're always waiting for the next trauma to happen—or drama. You're constantly on watch."
In her first book, the very well received bestseller, Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight, Fuller wrote of her childhood in Rhodesia... a world where violent death was an everyday reality; where her family compound was surrounded by razor-wire, and where young Alexandra's father trained her in shooting a rifle. Alexandra Fuller now lives in Wyoming.
The photograph is of Alexandra (on the right) with her sister, Vanessa. It was taken in 1972, just before the family moved to the then Rhodesia. I don't know who the little girl is on the book cover.

Do you think that it is possible for dogs to stop a war?
This was the lead-off sentence in Wayne Walker's review of Castle In The Mist. I was delighted to read it, for not only was it provocative, it went to the core of the story...
Castle in the Mist is an anti-war story. The Planet Of the Dogs series is anti-war. In each book, the dogs help humans to find non-violent solutions to ruthless rulers, invaders, and the abuse of power.
Here is more of what Wayne Walker wrote:
"Author Robert J. McCarty has created a charming fantasy-allegory that can be read and understood on at least two different levels. Children will enjoy the story about dogs who come from another planet to help people on earth. But under the surface are the important messages of friendship, love, loyalty, and how to overcome evil with good." The same things are true as the story continues in Castle in the Mist. The book is well written and easy to read. It will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next, and, as with Volume I, leads to a satisfying conclusion.

her own personal rescue stories. As is the case with animal rescue, some of these tales are funny and others are poignant. However, all of them are true.
"Fairy tale and film enjoy a profound affinity because the cinema animates
phenomena, no matter how inert; made of light and motion, its illusions match the enchanted animism of fairy tale; animals speak, carpets fly, objects move and act of their own accord."
Mami Sunada has created a fascinating documentary about the world of Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli studios. I highly recommend it for readers of this blog who want an in-depth picture of the complex nature of creating animation; and an intimate visit with Miyazake and the world of Ghibli.
Miyazaki storyboards every film from start to finish; he times every shot on the storyboard; yet he often doesn't know where or how will end. He is very hard working, a perfectionist who pays attention to every detail; he is also a caring idealist.
Here are two of my favorite Miyazaki quotes from the film:
"The world isn't simple enough to explain in words"….
"Children are what keeps me going"
― Neil Gaiman, M Is for Magic
Michael Cunningham, is an acclaimed American author of seven books. His novel, The Hours, won a Pulitzer prize and a PEN/Faulkner Award. He has now reimagined several fairy tales from the past in a new book, A Wild Swan: And Other Tales, to be published November 10, 2015). One story from the book,Little Man, published in the New Yorker, is a wonderful retelling
"Having a child is not, however, anything like ordering a pizza. Even less so if you're
a malformed, dwarfish man whose occupation, were you forced to name one, would be . . . What would you call yourself? A goblin? An imp? Adoption agencies are reluctant about doctors and lawyers if they're single and over forty. So go ahead. Apply to adopt an infant as a two-hundred-year-old gnome.
You are driven slightly insane—you try to talk yourself down; it works some nights better than others—by the fact that, for so much of the population, children simply . . . appear. Bing bang boom. A single act of love and, nine months later, this flowering, as mindless and senseless as a crocus bursting out of a bulb.
It's one thing to envy wealth and beauty and other gifts that seem to have been granted to others, but not to you, by obscure but undeniable givers. It's another thing entirely to yearn for what's so readily available to any drunk and barmaid who link up for three minutes in a dark corner of any dank and scrofulous pub.
You listen carefully, then, when you hear the rumor. Some impoverished miller—a man whose business is going under (the small-mill owners, the ones who grind by hand, are vanishing; their flour and meal cost twice as much as the big-brand products, which are free of the gritty bits that can find their way into a sack of flour no matter how careful you are), a man who has no health insurance or investments or pension plan (he's needed every cent just to keep the mill open)—that man has told the King that his daughter can spin straw into gold..."

harmony with the story as reimagined by Michael Cunningham in Little Man.
"Here is an excerpt: (Rumpelstiltskin is) "a misshapen gnome of questionable origins, who is probably one of the least attractive of fairy-tale figures.Yet Rumpelstilskin come off rather well in a world where fathers tell brazen lies about their daughters, marriages are based on greed, and young women agree to give up a firstborn child. He works hard to hold up his end of the bargain made with the miller's daughter, shows genuine compassion when the queen regrets the agreement into which she has entered, and is prepared to add an escape clause to their contract even though he stands to gain nothing from it."
"The letters of the day on "Sesame Street" are H, B and O.
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit group behind the children's television program, has struck a five-year deal with HBO, the premium cable network, that will bring first-run episodes of "Sesame Street" exclusively to HBO and its streaming outlets starting in the fall.
The partnership, announced Thursday, will allow the financially challenged Sesame Workshop to significantly increase its production of "Sesame Street" episodes and other new programming. The group will produce 35 new "Sesame Street" episodes a year, up from the 18 it now produces..."

Turning Point for Young American Readers
"The rise of American children's literature is, to a large degree, inseparable from the rise of the public lending library, and by the 1870's librarians had become the guardians of children's reading. The fact that it is the American Library Association that gives the major children's book awards makes clear that in this country, there is a unique relationship between the worlds of children's reading, and the structures of the library...The first children's room in any public library opened in Brookline , Massachusettes, in 1890... (and librarians) made the library a place of imagination..."

I nominate The Guardian, always vigilant, to be welcomed as an honorary member of BARCA, Bloggers Against Celebrity Authors. Here is an excerpt from an article written by Tom Lamont and Robert Muchamore when Russel Brand announced that he was writing children's books...
"A celebrity – Kylie, Sting – announces his or her intention to write for children, and I instinctively feel for the career-pledged writers who have been huffing away with their thesaurus and watercolour brushes for years. Beneath them, the hopefuls with worthwhile manuscripts hustle for interest... And, uh oh, here's another celebrity, lolloping into the game. They've noodled out an idea on a Groucho Club napkin. Their agent has swivelled at the bar to arrange a six-figure deal. The published result, you can bet, will absorb more than its share of publicity budgets, review space, shelf space.
Given the subject under discussion, I'll express this in short sentences. Stop it, celebrities. Go away, celebrities"...Here is the link to read all of this article: Guardian

Anna Nirva is the guiding light at Sunbear Squad, a leading source for information and guidance in dog rescue and care. Here is an excerpt from their site about the rescue of abandoned hunting hounds.
Anna has found that abandoned hunting dogs perish daily of exposure and starvation all across America. Here is an excerpt from a Sunbear Squad rescue story: "An ice storm was bearing down in the southern United States and a pack of 3 adult Beagles and 5 puppies were sighted in a rural Arkansas forest. Concerned animal lovers sent numerous emails to locate a rescuer who could take immediate action to save the dogs, and two compassionate women rose to the challenge.
It's not like they didn't have anything else to do that day. Desiree had successfully lobbied for felony animal cruelty laws and had just been informed of the law's passing, and Carol worked full-time. But later in the afternoon, after learning of the ice storm coming, they gathered their gear and drove 45 miles to the woods where the dogs had been sighted."

Daniel Clowes is in the news! So much going on.
§ HBO is developing a half-hour comedy created by Clowes called "The Landlord", which he's co-exec producing with John Lesher. The logline: "After inheriting a shabby apartment building in a remote California town, a volatile college professor with Utopian delusions drags his family into the unforgiving netherworld of small-town America."
Yeah, we can see Ice Haven as an HBO show. The Little Miss Sunshine duo of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris is interested in directing. "We just looked over the script and it's still very early, but we're excited by trying to do something in TV, particularly at a place like HBO, where you can have nine hours instead of two," Dayton told Variety.
Despite being the king of the literary comics world, Clowes has had a fruitful time in Hollywood. In addition to the GHOST WORLD and ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL films, Clowes has been hired to write several screenplays. And of course Alexander Payne, poet laureate of alienated losers, is developing a film based on Clowes' graphic novel WILSON, the ultimate portrait of an alienated loser. Talk about a perfect match of material. Will they promote it at Comic-Con?
§ For a chance to see Clowes and fellow genius Chris Ware together, the two are in conversation TOMORROW at the Oakland Museum of California in conjunction with the soon-to-close Art of Daniel Clowes exhibit.
In a talk moderated by guest curator Susan Miller and Senior Curator of Art René de Guzman, Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware will be speaking at OMCA's James Moore Theater on Friday, July 27, 2012 from 7-8:30pm. Seating will be limited and is expected to fill up quickly.
§ Finally, this Proust questionnaire-like "interview" with Clowesat The Guardian was subject to more than the usual editing:
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I'd like to think I'd go kill Hitler or verify the divinity of Christ, but really I'd like to see what my neighbourhood was like when my house was built in 1912. Or perhaps to hang out in Bodega Bay while Hitchcock was shooting The Birds.
I like to think I'd go kill Hitler.
Ah, the limitations of the printed page. Thank god no one needs to worry about that any more.
Another reason to keep HBO on my satellite.
Yay, Clowes!
Am more interested in "The Landlord" than seeing DKRISES [why so serious fetish/bondage gear?]; and wish I was 500 miles closer to go to OMCA for some post Comic-Con comedown adjustment…

I have been completely and utterly addicted to (and obsessed by) True Detective so when I found out the show's creator and writer had written a crime novel I had to read it. And what a cracking book it is. Using some of the same elements as his television show Pizzolatto has constructed a highly atmospheric, slow burning thriller.
Roy Cady is a bagman who has just been diagnosed with cancer and sent on a job where he thinks his boss has tried to have him whacked. Now on the run he must navigate his way from New Orleans to East Texas with a young woman and her sister in tow. Roy is conflicted between his own short-term survival and that of the two girls now under his protection.
Just like True Detective Pizzolatto shifts time perception to perfection, drip feeding you bits of information, past and future, that leave you craving to know more.The raw emotion of Roy Cady is brutally and poignantly displayed and the way Pizzolatto describes the gulf coast landscape is an amazing blend of desolation and beauty.
We already know from True Detective that Nic Pizzolatto knows how to tell a story. Galveston proves that this talent was evident well before his HBO series.

By Perry N. Halkitis
On 25 May 2014 and nearly 30 years after first appearing on the stage, Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart will be aired as a film on HBO. This project, which has evolved over the course of the last three decades, documents those first few harrowing years of the AIDS epidemic in New York City. The Normal Heart debuts at a time when much attention is being cast upon the early days of AIDS and the lives of gay men, who survived the physical and emotional onslaught of this disease in a society that often shunned us because we were gay and because we were afflicted with this disease.
Now a generation of gay men, my generation—the AIDS Generation—stands proudly as testament to our individual and collective resilience which has brought us all into middle age. Certainly there have been huge hurdles along the way—too many deaths to enumerate, the havoc that the complications of this disease wreaked on our bodies, the lack of support. Even today, darkness and disrespect lurks in every corner, and no one is immune. For some in our society, identifying what is wrong with us as gay men comes to easily. We are reminded of it daily as right wing zealots fight against marriage equality, as young boys take their lives. Despite these conditions, despite the inaction of our national and local politicians, and despite a large yet ever-shrinking segment of our society that continues to view us as weak and sick, we stand together as a testament to the fortitude of our bodies, minds, and spirits.
The theme of resistance or resilience permeates the words, the thoughts, and the actions of the protagonists in The Normal Heart and many depictions of the AIDS epidemic.
Behavioral and psychological literature has attempted to delineate sources of resilience. Dr. Gail Wagnild posits that social supports in the form of families and communities foster resilience in individuals. I also adhere to this idea. Although the sources of resilience are still debated in the literature, there is general agreement that resilience is a means of maintaining or regaining mental health in response to adversity the ability to respond to and/or cope with stressful situations such as trauma, conditions that characterize the life of the men of the AIDS Generation.
For many of the men of the AIDs Generation, grappling with their sexuality was closely tied to the development of their resilience. In other words, resilience developed in their childhoods as young men grappling with their sexuality as stated by Christopher: "I also think that wrestling with my own sexuality and trying to navigate through that in my teenage years taught me how to just 'keep pushing' and to do what needed to be done." Some, including myself, found support among our families. Even if parents were loving and supportive, this did not ameliorate the burdens experienced being raised in a heteronormative and often-discriminatory world in which men were portrayed as weak, effeminate, and sickly.
As we watch The Normal Heart, we will be reminded of those dark, confusing early days of the epidemic. And while we must celebrate the resilience of a generation of gay men to fight this disease, we must also be reminded of our obligation to create a better world for a new generation of gay men, who despite our social and medical advances, need the love and support of their community of elders as the navigate the course of their lives.

AbstractThe Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) ballistic missile defense system is made up of a variety of components including land- and sea-based missiles, satellites, and space-based laser, all part of the Theater and National Missiles Defense Systems. Reusablehypersonic and reentry vehicles are being designed to meet Defense Department requirements. Two specific programs, the MDA's Space Based Laser (SBL) and the Space Maneuver Vehicle (SMV) program have requirements for innovative Thermal Protection Systems(TPS). Touchstone Research Laboratory has developed two novel materials. One can be used as a stand alone TPS, Carbon Foam (CFOAM[R]) for environments between 1000 and 3000 degrees F. When combined with the second material, Brazed Aluminum Matrix Composite(BAMC[TM]), it provides a sandwich structure combining a structural thermal insulator, carbon foam, (with compressive strength of up to 4000 psi) with a high-specific strength metal matrix composite (BAMC[TM]), which maintains its strength even above 750degrees F. The innovative lightweight Carbon Foam (CFOAM) and Brazed Aluminum Matrix Composite (BAMC) research will provide a new generation lightweight thermally efficient and affordable Thermal Protection System (TPS). It will protect sensitive spacecraft opticaland structural components enabling the thermal subsystems to minimize power consumption. A new TPS system can potentially increase payload fraction as well as provide additional mass margin by increasing propellant mass fraction. Such a system would opendesign space and reduce the risk of future mass growth. The technology will be directly applicable to NASA's on-going and future launch vehicle and space platform programs. It will be of great benefit to the commercial satellite industry.

Zoya Plus works far more effectively and quicker than any other nail varnish remover I have ever tried (and age 66, I've tried just about the lot, from pure acetone to quickies pads!)
Downside? The lid pump system took a couple or more attempts and unwanted 'squirts ' but I might - just - have conquered it now. Use it on paper towels until you've mastered it!
Upside? Nails in better condition, time saved from constant rubbing.

Writing a report on the Canadian automotive industry and how there are no Canadian automotive brands (except for a few niche producers) is going to drive me insane. At least there are a few bits of gold:
I Just Gave An Aircraft Engine A Makeover
In my fourth quarter at South Seattle's Aerospace Maintenance Technology school, I just finished giving an ancient motor a makeover, rebuilding everything around the engine except the engine itself, and I learned quite a bit.
I Just Did Something Crazy
On Monday, I was in my Electronic Field Production class editing a video when my professor looked over at my screen. I was working on a clip of my girlfriend reading a book. The professor then says, "She looks REALLY familiar. Is there any chance that she could be on a popular internet site...like a porn site?" I…
Can Anyone Offer Me Some High School Course Advice?
Well I'm going to be a senior next year. I am struggling with picking an English course to take. I want to know from you, which you prefer: AP Lit, AP Lang, or ENC 1101/1102? I don't really want to take basic English 4. The only reason I didn't do DE this year was I hated the teacher. Opinions and advice greatly…
This Is One Reason I Hate School
We recently had to write an essay about whether or not we thought athletes made too much money. The teacher spent about a month teaching us formatting and the likes. I hated it. So I wrote my essay how I write normally and turned it in. On a scale of 1-6, my teacher gave me a 2. The county which then went and graded…
Near SoCal? Let's get you into Performance Rally!
One of the TOP questions that pops out of my email, chat, messenger, and phone is: "How do I get started in rally racing?"
The most depressing part about Winter is...
partially melted snow.
The first day back at school was pretty good actually.
In geometry I have a substitute teacher because the real teacher got married over break and is on her honeymoon. I like the substitute so much better. Nicer in every way. How was everyone's first day back (everyone who went back today that is.)?
Why would you do this?

All Nighter Ahead of Me
I'm writing a research paper on the negative environmental impacts of hybrid/electric vehicles. Wish me luck.
Here's to All You College Oppos
I hope you don't have to deal with the kind of crap that I have had to in order to finish the semester. This student has missed over 15 class sessions and when she was in my group for the last project, didn't do a single bit of work. Have a great day everyone.
Oppo, I'm happy.
My Biology grade went from a 96 to a 99. Now the average of all my grades is a 97. :D

Do you love handmade paper crafts? Then you'll want to create this fun and easy project. A Matchbook Sticker Holder from Melissa Langer can be customized as much as you want - show off your creativity!
- Stock weight paper
- Scissors
- Scanner
- Sticker sheet
- Print your image as an 8 x 10 on 8.5 x 11 cover stock weight paper.
- Cut the off the white border and then cut the scanned image in half into two 4 x 10 strips.
- Fold one end up approximately 3/4". (It does not have to be exact.)
- Fold the top to sit under the flap about 1/4" so that it catches and does not slip out.
- Print out or use your favorite sticker sheets and cut them so that they fit flat in the bottom area from the bottom to top crease. I stacked about 4 sticker strips in my book but you can add more. Please customize this project to your own wonderful ideas! (My address labels were printed on Avery 8250 and cut to 4.5" in length x 1 of their columns which measures 2 3/4". You can use any labels or stickers that you would like.)
- Now just place a staple at the bottom of the folded area being careful not to staple a sticker.
- Tuck the top flap under fold and it is done!

After using my Nesco round dehydrator for so many years, the plastic had disintegrated and shattered before my eyes. While I liked that unit, some things just took forever to dry in it thanks to the stagnant slowly rising heat from the element in the bottom. After a little research I decided I needed a unit that had a circulator fan to cut drying time since I also have a somewhat bountiful garden to harvest from. My first project was sweet potato chips which turned out perfectly and very tasty! My second project was to dehydrate an entire bag of potatoes which was accomplished in less than 24 hours. This unit came with a single mesh screen, so I cut-to-fit door/window screening to lay on the trays prevent smaller bits from falling through the trays and can now do mixed vegetables among others. It kicks out heat through slots on all sides near the bottom, so be sure you don't have anything that might melt or be damaged from the heat blocking those vents! Sounds like a hairdryer, but not a sound that is unpleasant. It's better than what I expected and look forward to using it when the crops come in.
I bought this product mainly to make jerky. Specifically venison jerky. I had never made it before and I must say this machine worked awesome. Three pounds of meat took about 7 hours. Ran it on 160 degrees for the first two hours to kill any bacteria that might have been there. Then 135 the remaining time and it works awesome. Clean up is a breeze as the racks are dishwasher safe. Just to be cautious I remove the racks before the heat dry cycle and let them air dry. Awesome machine !
I researched, compared, and shopped for the perfect jerky maker for the money. I cannot express how pleased I am with this product. It is not too expensive, not too big, dehydrates much faster than the instructions say it will, the trays hold a lot of food and are so easy to clean, and it has a heater and a fan allowing for even drying. I never have to rotate the shelves to allow for more even drying...the air circulates very well. The heat and fan are located on top of the dryer and never have to be cleaned or have a mess that has dripped on them like many other styles of dehydrators with the heat element on the bottom. It only takes 3 hours to dry beef jerky!! I do wish it had a shut-off timer, but most dehydrators do not have that feature. For the price, this product has the best features and I absolutely love it.
The Nesco Snackmaster square Dehydrator is ideal for dehydrating beef jerky, fish, fruits, vegetables herbs , spices and a lot more. I just finished dehydrating potatoes, carrots, onions and bananas slices for an up coming camping trip. I like the temperature control, electric fan to move the heated air for a more even drying of vegetables and you can purchase more drying racks to expandable the Nasco Dehydrator. I LIKE IT! and IT WORKES FOR ME!
this dehydrator works great. it has plenty of extra space from utilizing the 4 corners, being square. it fits well into spaces. replacements or extras are easy to order from nesco.com
Excellent product, easy to use. I love the dryer being in the top. I just wish the trays were easier to clean.

It may have taken the Notorious B.I.G. a few years to follow up his milestone debut, Ready to Die (1994), with another album, but when he did return with Life After Death in 1997, he did so in a huge way. The ambitious album, intended as somewhat of a sequel to Ready to Die, picking up where its predecessor left off, sprawled across the span of two discs, each filled with music, 24 songs in all. You'd expect any album this sprawling to include some lackluster filler. That's not really the case with Life After Death, however. Like 2Pac's All Eyez on Me from a year before, an obvious influence, Biggie's album made extensive use of various producers -- DJ Premier, Easy Mo Bee, Clark Kent, RZA, and more of New York's finest -- resulting in a diverse, eclectic array of songs. Plus, Biggie similarly brought in various guest rappers -- Jay-Z, Lil' Kim, Bone Thugs, Too $hort, L.O.X., Mase -- a few vocalists -- R. Kelly, Angela Winbush, 112 -- and, of course, Puff Daddy, who is much more omnipresent here than on Ready to Die, where he mostly remained on the sidelines. It's perhaps Puffy himself to thank for this album's biggest hits: "Mo Money Mo Problems," "Hypnotize," "Sky's the Limit," three songs that definitely owe much to his pop touch. There's still plenty of the gangsta tales on Life After Death that won Biggie so much admiration on the streets, but it's the pop-laced songs that stand out as highlights. In hindsight, Biggie couldn't have ended his career with a more fitting album than Life After Death. Over the course of only two albums, he achieved every success imaginable, perhaps none greater than this unabashedly over-reaching success. Ready to Die is a milestone album, for sure, but it's nowhere near as extravagant or epic as Life After Death.

This controversal cd is filled with songs that any lover of rap or hip-hop would enjoy. Even though he has passed away,the notorious B.I.G is still producing music that tops the charts.
The album was a good one. It gave real guidance on real life things going on around the world between males and females.
It was good, but I have to say that performances by Bone is what totally saved this CD. Once again the bad boy label failed to make a hit out of an origonal background. And this CD seemed mostly a money making venture by putting everyone in the label somewhere on this CD with no concern for musical content.
Life After Death is the best album ever. Biggie is a legend and this album is so good that I almost can´t believe it. Life After Death includes Biggie´s best songs. This album is ten times better than 2pac´s Greatest Hits. And you should know that I think 2pac is really good. Biggie Rules!!
Yo this album is 1 of da hottest ablums ever made.Big is the greatest of all time and this album shows it.Although Ready To Die is better,i play this more.If u dont have it,lost it,loan it out or broke it get it again cause this is a true rapp classic. one
This is definetley a must-have for any true hip hop head. Big's talents at its fullest talkin bout everything from money to beef to story tellin to the ladies. cool and charismatic BIG gives strong argument to his title as the Greatest MC ever!!! copp that!
This one of the gretest hip hop albums of all time. It is the crowning achievement of The Notorious B.I.G. Ready to Die made Biggie one of the greatest. Life after Death made Biggie the greatest rapper of all time.
Although not as good as Biggies first album 'READY TO DIE' 'LIFE AFTER DEATH is still an excellent album. Only a few tracks really suck (nasty boy, whats beef, niggaz bleed, i got a story to tell) but with 2 cds full of music, who cares if theres a few that suck. No doubt one of the best albums I have ever heard.
This is, in my opinion, the greatest album ever recorded by a rapper. Unfortunately, it was released after the Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls, Black Frank White, Christopher Wallace) was killed in L.A. The CD begins with my personal favorite song, "Somebody's Gotta Die". It is with this song that Biggie displays his incredible skills at storytelling that he first showcased with Ready To Die. "N----s Bleed" also is an example of his storytelling ability, by the end you will think you are actually in that hallway. He also shows versatility in "Notorious Thugs" in which he speed raps with great results. This album also includes uplifting songs that showed that he was looking forward to the future which makes them so sad ("Sky's the Limit"). Biggie also gave out some hits courtesy of Puff Daddy's beats in the catchy "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems". Jay-Z and Notorious tear it up in "I Love the Dough". "Miss U" is a sad song which Biggie wrote for a fallen friend. A couple of famous and excellent songs on the second disc are "Going Back to Cali" and "Ten Crack Commandments". The CD features many other great guests who add to Biggie's skills including Ma$e, Lil' Kim, LOX, 112, R. Kelly, and DMC. Again, I think that this is the best Rap CD ever and the Notorious B.I.G. uses this album to show the world his skills one last time. You must buy this if you are a fan of Biggie, Hip Hop music, or even just music altogether. R.I.P. The Notorious B.I.G.
This is one of the best CDs i have ever bought. you will not be disappointed by the king of new york's array of songs here. if you like biggie this is THE CD to buy by him. life after death has songs like mo money mo problems to miss u to long kiss goodnight. buy this CD you wont be dissappointed.
This album was the perfect follow up to a classic. A classic after a classic is basicly impossible but B.I.G did it. This album was real from begginning to the end. Even though it had its commercial pop music moments ex.(mo money, mo problems and Sky's the limit) But songs like (10 crack commandments, Whats Beef?, and Nobody til somebody kill you) "Aint that the truth" Thanks Biggie for oppenning my eyes to the big picture.. A classic album forever R.I.P B.I.G
the best artist ever 10 million and over copies sold. must have for those rap fanatics
even after all these years, this could have come out yesterday and it would still be #1. the real best rapper alive right here, cant wait for the movie this Dec.. Almost got it word for word down...
